Mists of Pandaria Legendary Quest Guide: Updated for 5.1

Mists of Pandaria has a unique legendary questline: it spans content patches and any class and spec can work on it. Multiple people in your raid can work on it at the same time, and it can even be completed in LFR. We've updated our guide to reflect the new 5.1 questline and weapon models.

Overview

A few things set this apart from past legendaries:

All level 90 players in a raid can work on the legendary questline at the same time.

Legendaries are for everyone. Players complete quests for legendary gems, which are then socketed into Sha-Touched weapons from raids. There are nine weapons classified as Sha-Touched, covering all possible specs.

With this system, guild are only limited by the number of Sha-Touched weapons they see each week.

Legendary gems can be placed into weapons from LFR. Quest items can also be looted in LFR.

This legendary series will span the expansion, with more elaborate rewards each tier.

5.1 Quest Series

As the first step takes at least 6 weeks to complete, the remaining quests have been pieced together from datamining. This step encourages you to participate in the new faction hubs, and even PvP a little.

A Test of Valor: Gain A Test of Valor by earning a total of 6000 Valor Points.Points earned retroactively will not count. This will take 6 weeks total to complete.

Sigil of Power can also drop from Terrace on lfr. I've had one drop from Tsulong for me on my DK

Yes it does and makes me upset because now I have 20 sigils of power and only 6 sigils of wisdom.This week I have my fingers crossed and hope the rest of wisdom drops,wish I could trade a few sigils of power for 1 or 2 sigils of wisdom....hint hint....what am I supposed to do with the other 10 when I finish quest?

You probably had 300 valor when you accepted the quest. The quest is to earn an additional 6,000 valor, so existing valor does not count.

My main question is will the final "legendary weapon" be different (in stats and visual appearance) if you start with the lesser weapons from Raid finder or normal mode or should I hold out for the heroic version of the weapon before applying the Crystallized Dread and Eye of the Black Prince to a lesser Normal or Raid Finder version?

It will most certainly be different. If you have the ability and/or means to run heroic Terrace of Spring, wait it out, because the upgraded weapon will just take whatever your weapon's current iLevel is and boost it by x amount of levels. They're not going to give people who stick solely to LFR the same level of gear as someone who does regular raids or, for that matter, heroics.

As far as visually, well, Blizzard doesn't even know that yet.

Even if they are different, you should NOT wait - you can buy new gems and new sockets for gold when you get an upgraded weapon.

Lol legendaries for every one. Glad I quit the game

I doubt anyone misses you :D -wavewave- don't let the door hit you where the dog shoulda bit ya.

In all seriousness...

I should have been doing this before now :|

It ALWAYS happens this way: I give up on a weapon upgrade for my hpal...throw jade spirit on it........the most irritatingly rare weapon drops and I win....and then I only have 3 sha crystals and no start on this quest :| LALALALALALALA
